Blijdorp, Rotterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 1933 apartment on Statensingel sits in Blijdorp, a leafy pocket of Rotterdam where the city hums but the streets stay quiet. At €487,500 for 82 m², the price is in line with the neighbourhood average of €467,000, a fair match for a home with an E label, which means higher energy costs to expect. For context, apartments in Rotterdam vary widely, but this one holds its own.
Blijdorp is a neighbourhood where people still greet each other on the street. One resident calls it a "quiet neighbourhood where neighbours know and help each other when needed," while another describes it as "cosy, quiet neighbourhood with nice people." Based on five reviews, the area scores 7.55 out of 10. It's densely built (5,196 addresses per km²) and very urban, yet the Vroesenpark is just a couple of streets away. Most homes are pre-war (88%), and the population skews young, nearly half are between 25 and 45. The neighbourhood Blijdorp has a mix of singles and families, with average incomes typical for the city.
For your morning bread, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and Dirk is a five-minute walk. Schools are close too: Wolfert Tweetalig and Montessori Lyceum are both a couple of streets away, making the school run a short stroll. The municipality Rotterdam offers all the city's amenities, from restaurants to the metro, though the train station is a ten-minute walk.
At the time of writing, the home is listed via TW3 Strategie Marketing Makelaardij and also appears on Funda, so it's available through several channels.

Auto-translated to English by AIit's a nice neighbourhood, right next to Vroesepark! In my opinion, there's not much to do for young people, for that you have to go to the city centre.

About Statensingel 126C, Rotterdam
The asking price of €487,500 is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €467,000 and the median of €450,000. Given the 82 m² floor area, the price per m² works out to about €5,945, which is higher than the neighbourhood average of €5,245. So it's on the high side, but the location and character may justify it.
An E label indicates the home is not very energy-efficient. You can expect higher heating and electricity costs compared to a modern home. In Blijdorp, only about 4.6% of homes have an A or A+ label, while 44% are rated D or lower, so an E label is fairly common for a pre-war apartment.

One resident notes it's a "quiet neighbourhood where neighbours know and help each other when needed."
